“The time for a woman to serve as our President has come – really, now is the time”
Nancy Reagan (1921–2016) actress and first lady of the United States
and I think the idea of having a former First Lady as the leader of the free world is really quite a marvelous notion. I want Hillary to win. Even though I admire two of the current potential Republican nominees, I have no interest in seeing either of them lead this country. <br class="br">In an interview for First Ladies in Their Own Words, as quoted in Nancy Reagan: "I Want Hillary to Win" by Pierce Bublé at National Report (10 April 2015) http://nationalreport.net/nancy-reagan-want-hillary-win/
Gore Vidal (1925–2012) American writer
1990s, The Decline and Fall of the American Empire (1992)
Context: Every four years the naive half who vote are encouraged to believe that if we can elect a really nice man or woman President everything will be all right. But it won't be. Any individual who is able to raise $25 million to be considered presidential is not going to be much use to the people at large. He will represent oil, or aerospace, or banking, or whatever moneyed entities are paying for him. Certainly he will never represent the people of the country, and they know it. Hence, the sense of despair throughout the land as incomes fall, businesses fail and there is no redress.
Gore Vidal (1925–2012) American writer
After being asked "Does someone as sophisticated as you are submit yourself to the conspiracy theory of history?""
1980s, At The David Susskind Show (1980)
